more accurate would be vegans have to pay attention to iron, omega 3 and b12 but meeting those needs doesnt require a state of crisis

hell most people should probably take a b12 supplement anyway since our ancient ancestors got their b12 directly from the dirt by drinking from streams/eating root vegetables

anyway i was hoping for something a bit more scientific, it isn't like electrolytes, proteins, fats and carbohydrates are tough to find in a plant-based diet. hell clarence kennedy eats 180grams of protein every day without using supplements

I don't begrudge anyone their personal choices and I do very much enjoy many dishes that involve no animal products, but vegans are oddly overwhelmingly represented among the unhealthiest people in western developed countries, because your anatomy is craving meat. I completely respect the discipline it must take to not eat it, but don't pretend you aren't meant to

The unhealthy vegans I know are either broke brained outside of regular veganism (all members of the nightshade family are poisons!) or seemingly unaware that if you eat nothing but french fries and sugar soaked coffee despite that being vegan its not actually good for you.

The rest just control their diets carefully and take supplements as necessary

Whats vastly more common in my life than preachy vegans are people who will not shut up about how theyre vegetarian but when pushed or feel comfortable reveal they eat seafood all the time. One of them literally talked about how good shark fin soup was!

Do they even make faux fish?

They do make faux shark fin soup, because

Veganism can't be a religion because nobody's been doing it long enough to actually believe someone didn't just make it up a few years ago. Call me when we have vegan families generations deep whose kids are terrified to eat meat because they believe it will instantly curse them with colon cancer

I think veganism is pretty cool and good and I aim to make the full switch when and if I can organise my meal planning better.

I really wish vegan culture was less off putting though, because every vegan cafe is ugly as gently caress in a crunchy-dreadlocks way and they tolerate poo poo like people playing bongos at 2pm when I just want some hangover fighting coffee, porridge, chocolate chips and banana. The whole aesthetic is like gap-year Cosplay and it’s gross.

Most vegans I know are healthy and attractive but the vegetarians are all dumb as hell and slowly killing themselves. Like yeah I’m not gonna eat chicken or salmon but let me just crush this block of cheese with ice cream for dessert type of diet.

Vegetarianism is actually really dumb for any reason other than genuinely not liking meat. Either be vegan or don’t.

At what point did veganism overtake vegetarianism in the cultural landscape? I distinctly remember vegetarians being the butts of jokes throughout the '90s (the classic Simpsons episode, for example), but at some point the practice really fell by the wayside and got completely usurped by veganism. Vegetarianism seems quaint at this point, although pescatarianism oddly seems to be making a comeback.
